Sexual Predator

Donald Trump is a sexual predator. The recently released audio recordings of Trump’s comments from a conversation with a reporter prove this beyond any argument.

Comments

In his comments, Trump (who had recently married his third wife) is heard saying “I’m automatically attracted to beautiful women — I just start kissing them, it’s like a magnet. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything… Grab ’em by the pussy.” In this one sentence Trump tells you everything you ever need to know about his opinion of women – they are objects that exist simply for his own gratification. It doesn’t matter what they want he’s entitled to take it.

Disgusting

That comment alone is disgusting on levels far beyond anything we’ve heard from Trump before this – though hardly shocking. Anyone who is aware of Trump’s comments and behavior towards women over the years obviously knows he’s capable of this (and much worse), we just haven’t heard it. But it gets even worse in his tape as Trump details how he aggressively chased a married woman in spite of her continued rebuffing of his attempts. This makes him a predator.

“Locker room banter”

Trump’s statement that this was only “locker room banter” and that he apologizes “if anyone was offended” is unacceptable. Pay attention to those words. Trump did not apologize for what he said, only if anyone was offended. That is a “sorry not sorry” if ever there was one.

Granted, I’m not a guy, I’ve never hung out in a men’s locker room. I do not doubt that some men have engaged in similar language over the years. But these men are not running for president and do not have a history of misogynistic comments. The fact that this was a private conversation is major – this is who he really is. This is what he thinks in his private moments. He has shown us, repeatedly that he is a monster; it’s time for everyone to believe it.

Image this

Imagine for one moment ANY female celebrity (because at that time, he was not a politician), just recently married to her third husband, saying that when she sees a gorgeous man she just walks up and starts kissing him and can get away with it? Imagine this same woman saying “I just grab him by his dick if I want and I can get away with it because I’m famous?” Further, imagine her saying that she had aggressively pursued a married man and tried to get him to cheat on his wife? Now imagine that woman was running for PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?

Ignoring all of the other things about Trump that would have disqualified any woman (multiple affairs, divorces, children by three different women) long before we got to this point, no woman (politician or otherwise) would survive a release of audio like this. But I can guarantee you that anyone who has already committed to voting for Trump will not change their minds about it, because they already know who he is – and they like it.

When Hillary Clinton identified half of Trump’s supporters as a “basket of deplorables” she was wrong; because it’s more than half. ANYONE who can support a sexual predator for president (let alone for game show host) is deplorable.

People who are deplorable

Deplorable people are the fathers who write letters describing their son’s rape of an unconscious woman as “twenty minutes of action”. Deplorable people are those who believe its okay for a presidential candidate to hurl insults and accusations at groups of people based on their race, their gender, their religion or culture. Deplorable people support a sexual predator for president.

There is more

What is even worse aproducer from the reality series “The Apprentice” used Twitter on Saturday night to warn that the now infamous leaked audio of Trump is just the beginning.

“As a producer on seasons 1&2 of #theapprentice I assure you: when it comes to #trump tapes there are far worse,” tweeted Bill Pruitt.

Pruitt is not the first to suggest there will be more revelations about the GOP presidential nominee’s past behavior. According to reports by Fox News’ Ed Henry, top Trump adviser Ben Carson suggested there would be more “bombshells” to come.

Quote

Maya Angelou famously said, “When someone shows you who they are believe them; the first time.” Trump has shown us over and over again who he is. He is a monster. It’s time that everyone believes him.
